History

WZJS was started in the early 1990s by Roland Potter. In the late 1990s the station, along with WATA, was sold to Highland Communication Associates.

In September 2003 Highland sold both stations to Aisling Broadcasting (Jonathon Hoffman, managing member) for a price of $2.2 million [http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA325800.html] . This added to Aisling's holdings in the High Country, as they had already purchased WECR, WECR-FM, WXIT (from Rondinaro Broadcasting) for $2.2 million in 2003 [http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA328916.html?q=wecr-fm] , and WMMY(from Dale Hendrix) in 2004 for $1.58 million [http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA401907.html?display=Business&q=wmmy-fm]

Aisling went into receivership and George Reed of Media Services Group was appointed to manage the stations until a buyer is found [Scott Nicholson, "Receivership: Local Stations Seek Buyer," "The Watauga Democrat", March 14, 2008.] .
